Seven Dials Covent Garden is a unique quarter of London whose star-shaped layout remains as constructed in the early 1690s. It was brought back to life largely through the dedication of the Seven Dials Trust, working in partnership with the local authorities and landowners for nearly forty years.

The Sundial Pillar was unveiled by HM Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands - in June 1989 as the finalé of the 1988/9 William & Mary Tercentenary and has become an iconic London landmark. It was the first project of its kind in London since Nelson’s Column in the 1840’s and took five years of meticulous planning by the Trust.
